Wayne Elton Schulke peacefully passed away at home on Sunday, April 2 2006

He was born in Houston on Nov. 26, 1945 to Evelyn and Albert Schulke. After

He was a great caring man who loved his wife and family. Wayne was a
faithful loving husband to his wife Paula for the 24 years of their
marriage. He always took care of others before himself and taught his two
sons how to be men. His love of the outdoors became a big part of his life
and others around him. His unselfish ways will remain a legacy to all those
who remember him.
Wayne is survived by his wife Paula, his son Matt Schulke and his wife
Helen, his son Jason Schulke, his mother Evelyn Gutkowski, his brother
Gerald Schulke and his wife Tracy, and his brother Herald Schulke and his
